already working on it.
My local go to guy still don't have squat in stock, but his dealer box of FrogLube arrived. I Picked up a 4oz container of paste CLP.
FrogLube
is American.
Directions are easy enough. Although there are several voodoo ceremonies that can be found online when it comes to applying lube, and FrogLube is no different, I chose to just follow the labeling.
It really does have a minty/wintergreen smell. Tastes a bit like those candles on birthday cakes, the mint is less noticeable as a taste than a smell.
Before anyone gets worried that I am in the habit of eating gun lube, Froglube is harmless. That is my main interest in this stuff. I want something I can use on camp knives that will be used to prepare food and eat with. Since I prefer a carbon steel knife for general outdoor use, rust is a concern.
Consistency is somewhere between wax and grease. It does have a slippery feel with a firmness to it. The paste readily turns more liquid as you rub it into the surface. Following the directions, I applied it to a couple of knives and my STI .45. It does not smear or finger print once a light buffing is done and even though the surface appears dry, I can still feel that something is there, slick but not wet.
Anyone familiar with 1911s can tell the difference between a dry gun and a lubed one when pulling the slide back. With no visible lubrication on the rails, my STI feels just as it does with proper oiling.
Still to be determined is how well this stuff will hold off rust with daily carry. Also, how long does this stuff last during use? I'll have to get out and shoot to see if it cooks off fairly quick or not. For a CCW piece, I estimate that if the FrogLube is still working after 200 rounds it should be good for that.
